Cabbage Quilts!
In the spirit of recycling, I have partnered with the fashion shop Niche at Pearl in San Antonio and received the first installment of fabric scraps and off-cuts that were headed for the trash bin. The dynamic black and white print was to be made into masks at the...
HAPPIEST DAY OF THE YEAR
When Daylight Savings Time ends, life at my rhythm begins. I send you joy this day dear friends. Today, we (the cats and I) change all the clocks. The clocks are old, so not satellite connected. We finished at about 4 pm Central Standard Time. Many clocks here!...
What could be…
This slowing down, changing the way we interact with the world, with each other. We are all thinking about it. Are you getting things done at home that have been waiting for your attention? Pile of ironing…done. Papers to file…done. Clean the closets…done. Read that...
Masks…what day is it anyway?
So, I missed writing last week. It is really hard to know what day it is. I lost track. This week I have been making masks for family members in the medical field. It took a lot of research to find what might be an effective mask. Viruses are so small they can wiggle...
SCI-Fi-LIVE
Here we are, somewhere in the future… already. The world as we knew it has morphed. Where two or three are gathered together…is not recommended. Wash your hands for 20-30 seconds with SOAP. Better than antibacterial sanitizer which must be 60% alcohol, read the...

Six Camp Honey Creek memory quilts for the new bunkhouse in Hunt, TX!
Some of you may know that my sweet Pomeranian, Hope, went to heaven last April. She was 13 human years old. Theresa took her fur that I had saved from daily brushing and made yarn. It is so beautiful. I have tears of sadness and joy. Thank you Theresa!
Tiny piece for Fiber Artists of San Antonio and the Library.
It’s one of THOSE days.
I went to the library for some crafty seashell painting! Yay Tobin Library!
Mimi has written an awesome book. I learned about kudzu! Interesting characters, excellent language reflecting time and place, sharp sentences. Wish I had been as smart as Mattie, the main character, when I was younger! My heart was truly invested through the entire story. Thank you, Mimi for your hard work to bring this to us!
This amazing embroidery from Peru is getting a backing and rod pocket so it can be hung on the wall. Wavy edges have determined that I stitch by hand to “ease” the bulk. I LOVE handwork! My new direction?
Light and color theory from the kitchen. CMYK ya’ll !!!
Cosy “factory” happening. Warhol ain’t got nuthin on this factory.
Dancing with scissors… thank you Enya.
Eight new pre-approved fabric prints added. Waiting approval to start sewing! Red fabric is Bella Solids Scarlet from #fatquartershop in Austin. Thank you Kimberly!
First design mock up with edits! Awaiting new fabrics. Creation is hard work for a five year old? Big decisions! So impressed with his participation. Yay Mom!!!
Obviously cannot follow directions! Pattern was just not enough! Happy 5th birthday Hazel, my little mermaid. This will be in the mail tomorrow so you can cook with your Dad.
Next project.
He LOVES red. Choosing which way to make it. Age 5 is a great age to get a quilt made!
